modern technology, frankly it is a 24/7 news media. it is the fact that the members leave their families back home. you can't be a good legislator two and half days a week. you have to work at it. the combination of those things, it contributed to the partisanship and the gridlock that we have now. the answer is simple. it is called leadership. men and women of goodwill, conservative liberals, republicans, and the president -- they say it is an easy and we have to get results. >> so i want to come back to that. let's talk about the challenges that lay ahead over the next three to six months in the government. you have divided power, fiscal problems that you have to address. it's not unlike 1990. you are able to put together a pretty good package in 1990 that led to pave the way for it the deficit subsequently. something like that happen now? what was so different about 1990 than what we have now? >> well, i think it would be more difficult to do it. i came to the senate in january of 1977. when i came there, you had democrats and moder

foreign policy from all of this innovation in the technology? >> you mentioned i think a number of the biggest challenges one of the ways we benefit from thinking about this is to distinguish between long-term goals were mere term nm management challenges. long-term goals we have to bet on openness, freedom of access to private markets. for the reasons i talked about in my remarks and many others, the recipe for global peace and prosperity is in that. a good question though on the short term challenges that are very real and over time it will lead to greater economic opportunity and job creation. in the new term there is potentially a mismatch between connectivity doing dangerous people larger reform without moving the opportunity as quickly. we have many difficult management challenges but one of the things we have to do is speed up the economic opportunity side so if you are as convinced as i am that the more there is economic opportunity, the less threats will see. it creates a whole host of challenges. i will give you another example in this

today's entrepreneurs may use different technology to develop products and reach potential markets than their predecessors, but the work ethic and the passion to do something remains just the same. this week, i encourage my colleagues to explore the impact of entrepreneurship in their communities and to engage with start-up companies working to make the lives of americans better. i have met with entrepreneurs in kansas and across the country during the last 18 months. the passion and creativity of these entrepreneurs has encouraged me. one refreshing observation is that these entrepreneurs, while competitive, want to see their fell entrepreneurs succeed. they are also building new tools that empower others to make their businesses better. but in conversation after conversation, i also have learned that there are common challenges that entrepreneurs face, some of which can be solved by congress if we follow the entrepreneur's example of seizing an opportunity, rolling up our sleeves and working together. entrepreneurs in america are finding it increasingly difficult to start a business a
